Ask the Camera
, hosted by
Sandy Becker
. She joined the staff of the network's
Today
show in the early 1960s as a writer and segment producer of women's-interest stories. Her popularity with viewers led to her receiving more airtime, and in 1974 she became co-host of the program, the first woman to hold such a position on an American news program.
[6]

ABC
newsmagazine
20/20

Pat Nixon
to
Barack
and
Michelle Obama

She also interviewed both

Early life
[
edit
]
Barbara Jill Walters was born in
Boston
on September 25, 1929,
[19]
[a]
the daughter of Dena (nee Seletsky) and
Lou Walters
(born Louis Abraham Warmwater);
[21]
[22]
her parents were children of
Russian Jewish
immigrants.
[23]
[24]
Her paternal grandfather, Abraham Isaac Waremwasser, was born in the Polish city of
Łod?
and emigrated to England where he changed his surname to Warmwater.
[25]
Walters' father was born in London in 1898 and moved to New York City with his father and two brothers on August 28, 1909. His mother and four sisters arrived there the following year.
[26]
During Walters' childhood her father managed the Latin Quarter nightclub in Boston, which was owned in partnership with E. M. Loew. In 1942, her father opened the club's
now-famous New York location
. He also worked as a
Broadway
producer and produced the
Ziegfeld Follies
of 1943
;
[27]
[28]
he was also the entertainment director for the
Tropicana Resort and Casino
in
Las Vegas
. He imported the
Folies Bergere
stage show from Paris to the resort's main showroom.
[29]
Walters' older brother, Burton, was 14 months old when he died of
pneumonia
.
[30]
[31]
Her elder sister, Jacqueline, was born with
mental disabilities
and died of
ovarian cancer
in 1985.
[32]
According to Walters, her father made and lost several fortunes throughout his life in show business. He was a booking agent, and (unlike her uncles in the shoe and dress businesses) his job was not very stable. During the good times she recalled her father taking her to the rehearsals of the nightclub shows he directed and produced. The actresses and dancers would make a huge fuss over her and twirl her around until she was dizzy, after which she said her father would take her out to get hot dogs.
[33]
Walters said that being surrounded by celebrities when she was young kept her from being "in awe" of them.
[34]
When she was a young woman, her father lost his night clubs and the family's
penthouse
on
Central Park West
. As Walters recalled, "He had a
breakdown
. He went down to live in our house in Florida, and then the government took the house, and they took the car, and they took the furniture. [...] My mother should have married the way her friends did, to a man who was a doctor or who was in the dress business."
[35]
During her childhood in
Miami Beach
, she briefly lived with the mobster
Bill Dwyer
.
[36]
Walters attended Lawrence School, a public school in
Brookline, Massachusetts
; she left halfway through
fifth grade
when her father moved the family to Miami Beach in 1939.
[37]
She continued attending public school in Miami Beach.
[38]
After her father moved the family to New York City, she spent
eighth grade
at the private
Ethical Culture Fieldston School
,
[39]
after which the family moved back to Miami Beach.
[40]
She then went back to New York City after
tenth grade
, where she attended
Birch Wathen School
, another private school.
[41]
[42]
[43]
In 1951, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from
Sarah Lawrence College
in
Yonkers, New York
.
[44]
Career
[
edit
]
Early career
[
edit
]
Walters was employed for about a year at a small advertising agency in New York City and began working at the NBC network's flagship station WNBT-TV (now
WNBC
), doing publicity and writing press releases. In 1953 she produced a 15-minute children's program,
Ask the Camera
, which was directed by
Roone Arledge
. She also started producing for TV host
Igor Cassini
(Cholly Knickerbocker), but left the network after Cassini pressured her to marry him and started a fistfight with the man she was interested in. She went to
WPIX
to produce the
Eloise McElhone Show
, which was canceled in 1954.
[45]
She became a writer on
The Morning Show
at
CBS
in 1955.
[46]
The Today Show
[
edit
]
After a few years working at
Tex McCrary
Inc. as a publicist and as a writer at
Redbook
magazine, Walters joined
NBC
's
The Today Show
as a writer and researcher in 1961.
[47]
She moved up becoming the show's regular "
Today
Girl
," handling lighter assignments and the weather. In her autobiography, she described this era before the
Women's Movement
as a time when it was believed that nobody would take a woman seriously reporting "hard news." Previous "
Today
Girls" (whom Walters called "tea pourers") included
Florence Henderson
,
Helen O'Connell
,
Estelle Parsons
, and
Lee Meriwether
.
[48]
[49]
Within a year, she had become a reporter-at-large developing, writing, and editing her own reports and interviews.
[50]
One very well-received film segment was "A Day in the Life of a Nun." Another was about the daily life of a
Playboy Bunny
.
[51]
Beginning in 1971, Walters hosted her own local NBC affiliate show,
Not for Women Only
,
which ran in the mornings after
The Today Show.
[52]
[53]
Walters had a great relationship with host
Hugh Downs
for years. When
Frank McGee
was named host in 1971, he refused to do joint interviews with Walters unless he was given the first three questions.
[54]
She was not named co-host of the show until McGee's death in 1974 when NBC officially designated Walters as the program's first female co-host.
[55]
She became the first female co-host of a U.S. news program.
[56]
ABC Evening News
and
20/20
[
edit
]
Walters signed a five-year, $5 million contract with
ABC
, establishing her as the highest-paid news anchor, either male or female.
[9]
She and
Harry Reasoner
co-anchored the
ABC Evening News
from 1976 to 1978, making her the first U.S. female network news anchor.
[56]
Reasoner had a difficult relationship with Walters because he disliked having a co-anchor, even though he worked with former CBS colleague
Howard K. Smith
nightly on ABC for several years. Walters said that the tension between the two was because Reasoner did not want to work with a co-anchor and also because he was unhappy at ABC, not because he disliked Walters personally.
[57]
In 1981, five years after the start of their short-lived ABC partnership and well after Reasoner returned to CBS News, Walters and her former co-anchor had a memorable (and cordial)
20/20
interview on the occasion of Reasoner's new book release.
[58]
In 1979, Walters reunited with former
The Today Show
host Downs as a correspondent on the ABC newsmagazine
20/20
. She became Downs' co-host in 1984, and remained with the program until she retired as co-host in 2004.
[59]
Throughout her career at ABC, Walters appeared on ABC news specials as a commentator, including presidential inaugurations and the coverage of the
September 11 attacks
. She was also chosen to be the moderator for the third and final debate between candidates
Jimmy Carter
and
Gerald Ford
, held on the campus of the
College of William and Mary
at
Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall
in
Williamsburg, Virginia
, during the
1976 presidential election
.
[60]
In 1984, she moderated a presidential debate which was held at the Dana Center for the Humanities at
Saint Anselm College
in
Goffstown, New Hampshire
.
[61]
Interviews
[
edit
]
Walters was known for "personality journalism"
[62]
and her "scoop" interviews.
[63]
In 1976, she first aired her highly rated, occasional, primetime
Barbara Walters Specials
interview program. Her first guests included a joint appearance by President-elect Jimmy Carter and
Rosalynn Carter
, and a separate interview with singer-actress
Barbra Streisand
.
[64]
In November 1977, she landed the first joint interview with Egyptian president
Anwar Al Sadat
and Israeli prime minister
Menachem Begin
, while they were working out the terms of the eventual
Egypt?Israel peace treaty
.
[65]
[66]
According to
The New York Times
, when she went mano a mano with
Walter Cronkite
to interview both world leaders, at the end of Cronkite's interview, he is heard saying: "Did Barbara get anything I didn't get?"
[67]
Walters had sit-down interviews with world leaders, including the Shah of Iran,
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
, and his wife, the Empress
Farah Pahlavi
;
[68]
Russia's
Boris Yeltsin
and
Vladimir Putin
;
[69]
China's
Jiang Zemin
; the UK's
Margaret Thatcher
;
[70]
Cuba's
Fidel Castro
,
[71]
as well as India's
Indira Gandhi
,
[72]
Czechoslovakia's
Vaclav Havel
,
[73]
Libya's
Muammar al-Gaddafi
,
[74]
King
Hussein of Jordan
,
[75]
King
Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
,
[76]
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez
[77]
and many others. Walters interviewed other influential people including pop icon
Michael Jackson
,
Katharine Hepburn
,
Vogue
editor
Anna Wintour
,
[78]
and
Sir Laurence Olivier
in 1980.
[79]
Walters considered
Robert Smithdas
, a deaf-blind man who spent his life improving the lives of other individuals who are deaf-blind, as her most inspirational interviewee.
[80]
Walters was widely lampooned for asking actress Katharine Hepburn, "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?" On the last
20/20
television episode in which she appears, Walters showed a video of the Hepburn interview, showing the actress saying that she felt like a strong tree in her old age. Walters followed up with the question, "What kind of a tree?", and Hepburn responded "an oak" because they do not get
Dutch elm disease
.
[81]
According to Walters for years Hepburn refused her requests for an interview. When Hepburn finally agreed to one she said she wanted to meet Walters first. Walters walked in all smiles and ready to please, while Hepburn was at the top of the stairs and barked, "You're late. Have you brought me chocolates?"
[82]
Walters had not but said she never showed up without them from then on. They had several other meetings later, mostly in Hepburn's living room where she would give Walters her opinions. These included that careers and marriage did not mix, as well as her feeling that combining children with careers was out of the question. Walters said Hepburn's opinions stuck with her so much, she could repeat them almost verbatim from that point onward.
[33]
Her television special about Cuban leader Fidel Castro aired on ABC-TV on June 9, 1977. Although the footage of her two days of interviewing Castro in
Cuba
showed his personality, in part, as freewheeling, charming, and humorous,
[83]
she pointedly said to him, "You allow no dissent. Your newspapers, radio, television, motion pictures are under state control." To this, he replied, "Barbara, our concept of freedom of the press is not yours. If you asked us if a newspaper could appear here against socialism, I can say honestly no, it cannot appear. It would not be allowed by the party, the government, or the people. In that sense we do not have the
freedom of the press
that you possess in the U.S. And we are very satisfied about that."
[84]
She concluded the broadcast saying, "What we disagreed on most profoundly is the meaning of freedom?and that is what truly separates us."
[85]
At the time, Walters kept quiet that she had seen New York Yankees owner
George Steinbrenner
, pitcher
Whitey Ford
, and several coaches in Cuba who were there to assist Cuban ballplayers.
[86]
On March 3, 1999, her interview with
Monica Lewinsky
was seen by a record 74 million viewers, the highest rating ever for a news program.
[87]
Walters asked Lewinsky, "What will you tell your children when you have them?" Lewinsky replied, "Mommy made a big mistake," at which point Walters brought the program to a dramatic conclusion, turning to the viewers and saying, "... that is the understatement of the year."
[88]
Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People
was aired annually starting in 1993.
[89]
In 2000, she quizzed pop star
Ricky Martin
about his sexuality years before he publicly
came out
. The singer later said that "he felt violated".
[90]
In 2010, Walters said that she regretted having pushed him on the issue.
[91]
The View
[
edit
]
Walters was a co-host of the daytime talk show
The View;
for 25 years she was also a co-executive producer of BarWall Productions alongside her business partner,
Bill Geddie
. Geddie and Walters were co-creators of the company.
The View
premiered on August 11, 1997.
[92]
In the original opening credits Walters said the show is a forum for women of "different generations, backgrounds, and views."
[93]
"Be careful what you wish for..." was part of the opening credits of its second season. On
The View
, she won
Daytime Emmy Awards
for Best Talk Show in 2003 and Best Talk Show Host (with longtime host
Joy Behar
, moderator
Whoopi Goldberg
,
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
, and
Sherri Shepherd
) in 2009.
[94]
Walters retired from being a co-host on May 15, 2014.
[95]
She returned as a guest co-host on an intermittent basis in 2014 and 2015 even in retirement.
Retirement
[
edit
]
After leaving her role as
20/20
co-host in 2004, Walters remained a part-time contributor of special programming and interviews for
ABC News
until 2016. On March 7, 2010, Walters announced that she would no longer hold
Oscar
interviews but would still work for ABC and on
The View
.
[96]
On March 28, 2013, numerous media outlets reported that Walters would retire in May 2014 and that she would make the announcement on the show four days later.
[97]
[98]
[99]
[100]
However, on the April 1 episode, she neither confirmed nor denied the retirement rumors; she said "if and when I might have an announcement to make, I will do it on this program, I promise, and the
paparazzi
guys?you will be the last to know".
[101]
[102]
Six weeks later Walters confirmed that she would be retiring from television hosting and interviewing, as originally reported; she made the official announcement on the May 13, 2013, episode of
The View
. She also announced that she would continue as the show's executive producer for as long as it "is on the air".
[103]
[104]
[105]
[106]
[107]
On June 10, 2014, it was announced she was "coming out of retirement" for a special
20/20
interview with
Peter Rodger
, the father of the perpetrator of the
2014 Isla Vista killings
, Elliot Rodger.
[15]
[108]
In 2015, Walters hosted special
20/20
episodes featuring interviews with
Mary Kay Letourneau
[14]
and
Donald
and
Melania Trump
.
[16]
In 2015, Walters hosted the documentary series
American Scandals
on
Investigation Discovery
.
[17]
Walters continued to host
10 Most Fascinating People
on ABC in 2014
[109]
and 2015.
[18]
Her last on-air interview was with Donald Trump for ABC News in December 2015,
[110]
and she made her final public appearance in 2016.
[111]
[112]
On January 1, 2023, ABC ran a special called "Our Barbara" and a
20/20
senior producer noted, "For a number of years we kept her office just as is (after 2016), the papers came every day. Outside of her office she still retained her office extension."
[113]
Personal life
[
edit
]
Walters was married four times to three different men. Her first husband was Robert Henry Katz, a business executive and former Navy lieutenant. They married on June 20, 1955, at the
Plaza Hotel
in New York City.
[1]
[114]
The marriage was reportedly annulled after eleven months,
[115]
in 1957.
[116]
Her second husband was
Lee Guber
, a theatrical producer and theater owner. They married on December 8, 1963, and divorced in 1976. After Walters had three miscarriages, the couple adopted a baby girl named Jacqueline Dena Guber (born in 1968 and adopted the same year; she was named for Walters' sister).
[117]
Walters' third husband was
Merv Adelson
who at the time was the CEO of
Lorimar Television
. They married in 1981 and divorced in 1984. They remarried in 1986 and divorced for the second time in 1992.
[118]
Walters dated lawyer
[119]
[120]
Roy Cohn
in college; he said that he proposed marriage to Walters the night before her wedding to Lee Guber, but Walters denied this happened.
[30]
She explained her lifelong devotion to Cohn as gratitude for his help in her adoption of her daughter, Jacqueline.
[121]
In her autobiography, Walters says she also felt grateful to Cohn because of legal assistance he had provided to her father. According to Walters, her father was the subject of an arrest warrant for "failure to appear" after he failed to show up for a New York court date because the family was in Las Vegas; Cohn was able to have the charge dismissed.
[122]
Walters testified as a character witness at Cohn's 1986
disbarment
trial.
[123]
Walters dated future U.S. Federal Reserve chairman
Alan Greenspan
in the 1970s
[124]
and was linked romantically to United States Senator
John Warner
in the 1990s.
[125]
In Walters's autobiography
Audition
, she wrote that she had an affair in the 1970s with
Edward Brooke
, then a married
United States Senator
from
Massachusetts
. It is not clear whether Walters also was married at the time. Walters said they ended the affair to protect their careers from scandal.
[126]
In 2007, she dated
Pulitzer Prize
?winning gerontologist
Robert Neil Butler
.
[127]
Walters was a close friend of
Tom Brokaw
,
Woody Allen
,
Joan Rivers
, and
Fox News
head
Roger Ailes
.
[128]
In 2013, Walters said she regretted not having more children.
[129]
[130]
Health issues and death
[
edit
]
In May 2010, Walters said she would be having an
open-heart operation
to replace a faulty
aortic valve
. She had known that she was suffering from
aortic stenosis
, even though she was symptom-free. Four days after the operation, Walters' spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, said that the procedure to fix the faulty heart valve "went well, and the doctors are very pleased with the outcome".
[131]
Walters returned to
The View
and her
Sirius XM
satellite show,
Here's Barbara
, in September 2010.
[132]
[133]
Walters retired permanently from both shows four years later.
[134]
Walters died at her home in
Manhattan
, on December 30, 2022, at age 93. She had been suffering from dementia in her later years.
[135]
[9]
[136]
Her last words were, "No regrets ? I had a great life." Those words were etched into her gravestone at Lakeside Memorial Park in
Doral, Florida
.
[137]
Legacy and awards
[
edit
]
Walters began her career when the prevalent view among television executives was that women reporting news about war, politics and other important matters would be taken lightly by viewers.
[65]
Her success is credited with creating career opportunities for future female network anchors, including
Jane Pauley
,
Katie Couric
and
Diane Sawyer
. Walters often got her interviewees to speak about their perspectives and share anecdotes.
[9]
[65]
She was inducted into the
Television Hall of Fame
in 1989.
[47]
On June 15, 2007, Walters received a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame
.
[138]
She won Daytime and Prime Time Emmy Awards, a
Women in Film Lucy Award
,
[139]
and a
GLAAD
Excellence in Media award.
[140]
In 2008, Walters was honored with the
Disney Legends
award, given to those who made an outstanding contribution to
The Walt Disney Company
, which owns the network ABC. That same year, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the
New York Women's Agenda
. On September 21, 2009, Walters was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 30th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards at New York City's
Lincoln Center
.
[141]
Walters' status as a prominent figure in popular culture was reflected by
Gilda Radner
's gentle parody of her as "Baba Wawa" on
Saturday Night Live
in the late 1970s,
[142]
featuring Walters' distinctive speech including her
rounded "R's"
. Her name appeared in the January 23, 1995
New York Times
Monday
Crossword Puzzle
.

Bibliography
[
edit
]
In the late 1960s, Walters wrote a magazine article, "How to Talk to Practically Anyone About Practically Anything", which drew upon the kinds of things people said to her, which were often mistakes.
[161]
Shortly after the article appeared, she received a letter from
Doubleday
expressing interest in expanding it into a book. Walters felt that it would help "tongue-tied, socially awkward people?the many people who worry that they can't think of the right thing to say to start a conversation."
[161]

Her actual birth year is unclear, although many of the works cited in this text - including an interview of Walters - declared her year of birth as 1931, the U.S. Census from 1930 lists Louis and Dena Seletsky as having a 6-month-old daughter named Barbara, making her birth year more likely to be 1929 (U.S. Census Bureau, 1930).
